Thought I’d go and open the books on the Dart this morning, second cast in and this one gave me bit of a shock down Caddaford, video of the fight is up on my Instagram @tompakes excuse the slightly shaken hands it gave me quite a shock for the second cast of the season

Glad to say the fishing was good throughout the morning plenty of sport in just about every pool

Exhibition

On 20th March an exhibition opened at the Dartmoor National Park Visitor centre at Princetown. Its about the River Dart and anglers so do drop in if you are passing.

Peter Mercer caught this fish at Abbotsmead a few days ago. Estimated around 2 1/4 lb.
